A scurrilous hashtag, #RIPJimmyFallon, has been trending on Twitter Tuesday night and The Tonight Show host has had enough.

Earlier on Tuesday, the more mischief-making element on Twitter launched #RIPJimmyFallon.

[{"selector":"#anim-359da98a-46c6-4a7c-b109-078118fdab92","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a74bdf4c-4d40-4320-a1b1-f9a468264bf6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 148.21937%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Twitter users posting the hashtag often with a picture of someone other than Fallon.

[{"selector":"#anim-32e79ff2-d284-4f69-afa6-27541ea9ff9f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ae44e27-5919-4482-b7ea-192eb671ab02","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 243.39179%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Twitter users, particularly those abroad, who weren't in on the supposed joke were shocked and confused.

After that calling on the company's CEO Elon Musk personally to take down the hashtag.
